American Flame Research Committee

The American Flame Research Committee (AFRC) is composed of representatives of industrial
and research organizations and associated eminent combustion expert members in the United States, Canada and
Mexico. The AFRC sponsors open forums in North America on applied combustion technology and research and
supports the applied combustion research activities of the
International Flame Research Foundation
(IFRF). The IFRF is
a worldwide network of industrial companies and academic institutes working to achieve cleaner and more efficient
industrial combustion. The main task of the Foundation is thus the acquisition and generation of information
with which to design flames for the efficient heating of industrial processes, with minimal environmental effects,
and thereafter the design of combustion equipment to produce such flames.
